The CSKT Fisheries Program’s goal for Mack Days contests on Flathead Lake is to slowly reduce the smaller sized lake trout in the population. The Flathead Lake and River Fisheries Co-Management Plan’s goal is not to completely eliminate the lake trout population, but to find a better balance between a recreational fishery based largely on lake trout and healthier native trout-bull trout and westslope cutthroat populations. Be sure and know how to ID the native fish-go to the website for information or contact Montana FWP or CSKT Tribal offices.

If the entry page does not work for you-e mail cindy.benson@cskt.org with your names, address, telephone #, ages-required to have that information to send out checks at the end of the event or you may not receive your winnings. If you do not receive an entry number back from me resend the entry.
